Lesson hypnosis course with option for hypnotherapy or self-development

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
They still exist: people who believe that hypnosis is not real, or that it is a paranormal activity. However, decades ago it was scientifically proven that hypnosis not only exists, but is also very effective in achieving all kinds of different goals. Thanks to the hypnosis course, you too can learn what exactly this fascinating state entails.

This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress. You can take both live and online lessons.

'Enlightenment is always preceded by confusion.'
Milton H. Erickson

What is hypnosis?

To understand hypnosis, think of sunlight; that is diffuse and falls somewhat everywhere. However, if you bundle light through a number of crystals, you turn it into a laser beam. Hypnosis does the same with your attention. It is usually focused on several things at the same time. This way you not only see what is directly in front of you, but you also notice things to the left and right, in your peripheral vision. However, when you focus yourself and focus your attention on one point, you can achieve a hypnotic state.

Our brains

In the past, people who talked about hypnosis mainly talked about the two brain hemispheres. The left hemisphere controls the right part of the body (except the ears), the right hemisphere controls the left part of our body.

Moreover, it has often been claimed that our logical thinking (including arithmetic) and our language are mainly located in the left hemisphere of the brain, and our creativity in our right hemisphere. However, this is only partially true. The reality is a lot more complex, and other parts of the brain often take over when a certain part is damaged.

In ancient texts - and unfortunately often also in more modern writings - you often read that hypnosis additionally activates the right hemisphere of the brain. During brain scans we can indeed see that a different pattern emerges than when one is asleep or awake.

However, the investigation into what exactly is going on is by no means complete. What we can say with certainty is that the brain usually works as if what is suggested is actually registered, as opposed to what happens when one simply imagines something! Numerous experiments (often with PET scans, such as the experiment by Henry Szechtman of McMaster University in Ontario in 1998, or the pain reduction experiment of Pierre Rainville of the University of Montreal a year earlier) have already shown this.

Brain experiments give us a good example of why hypnosis is so effective in (among other things) pain relief. For example, during a well-known experiment, subjects were confronted with pain stimuli of different intensities. They had to report how much pain they were in while their brain activity was also recorded.

The subjective experience of pain of the same intensity differed enormously from subject to subject, but the activated brain area during the pain experience was especially interesting: after all, this was an area responsible for memory and experience! How strongly you experience pain is therefore largely related to the way you deal with it and not only to the objective intensity!

You will never do anything you don't want to do

The above statement is also largely correct, but it must be qualified somewhat. A particularly small portion of the population—perhaps about one percent—seems to reach a state labeled “stuporous.” These people seem to do just about anything asked.

However, we believe that this has nothing to do with a bad or unstable character, or with absolute control of the hypnotist. What is going on can be explained by the phenomenon of narrowed attention. Because a stuporous person is so concentrated on the task at hand, he or she is often no longer really concerned with what is happening around him or her.

You stay active

In any case, hypnotized people never behave like passive machines: they are actively solving their problems, and are also creative when not suggested by the therapist. However, most things that happen to them are experienced as 'effortless', as if everything happens 'by itself'.

Not everyone has the feeling of being 'away': you usually maintain contact with the outside world during a hypnosis session. It is precisely because of the possibility of disturbance that spectators are usually asked to remain quiet during shows. By the way, it's important that you can hear the hypnotist, right?

Harmless

Hypnosis is absolutely harmless. Negative suggestions can be harmful, but that also applies to everyday life. Anyone who is constantly told by the teacher that he or she is not making any sense of it runs the risk of believing it even when it is not true, or of having a dent in self-confidence. This means that hypnotherapists - like all people - should certainly be careful with the suggestions they give!
For example, we think that most (or all) people suffering from multiple personality disorder (where people believe they have multiple personalities) have been given false suggestions (not necessarily under hypnosis) by people talking about different 'parts' or 'personalities'. And what to think about fortune tellers, whose predictions often become true because people (unconsciously) direct their actions accordingly - which does not necessarily mean that they are all quacks.

Research also shows that when reminiscing, people often fantasize things! A therapist must therefore be careful of this, especially when it concerns alleged incest or abuse, for example.

You always wake up

It is impossible to remain 'stuck' in a hypnotic state. Anyone who remained in hypnosis would simply fall asleep and then wake up sober. It seems that people also often experience a hypnotic state in daily life, for example when reading, watching TV, or practicing yoga or meditation.

Tool

As mentioned, hypnosis is often an excellent tool for treating all kinds of ailments and problems of a psychological or psychosomatic nature. And since body and psyche have a huge mutual influence on each other, this means that you can alleviate or eliminate a lot of suffering with hypnosis. For example, it has been frequently shown that hypnosis is very effective against allergies, psoriasis and anxiety, but hypnotic techniques are also often used to achieve positive goals.

About Me

To be sure: our head coach is at home in all markets. He wrote his first book, the science fantasy Ice, the Lost Planet, when he was 11. The novel was published three years later, which earned Dirk his city's cultural merit prize and items on almost all national TV and radio stations, as well as articles in every leading newspaper and a large number of magazines. Dirk later also became the very first Flemish author whose books he himself had pinned in English were published by American publishers: Fates Worse than Death: Hunter by Vajra Enterprises and Baour, Strands of Death by BlackWyrm Publishing.

In between Dirk became a journalist. He wrote - or still writes - for 'fanzines', magazines, newspapers and websites such as Zita, Skynet, The Fighting Bard, Mandragon, Dreun, Mindview, Keys & Chords, Bello Magazine, De Zondag, Doorgelicht.be, MetalBorn, BeauSense Magazine, PDF'zines, GameJunks, Rpg.net, the Delta Gids, Cerberus, Cerberus Too, Cerberus Food & Lifestyle, Wellness Insight, Care Insight, Move On, Cult of Cool, Cult of Chic and Cult of Design. Thanks to his wide range of interests, he could go just about anywhere to write passionately about his favorite topics, but there is more.

Dirk wrote hundreds of press releases for PR agency Oskaar and later for his own PR agency, Badass PR - mainly for films, television series, the hospitality industry and various charities. He also provides numerous newsletters and social media for his clients.

Dirk has been a coach since he was twenty - when he was still studying psychology at the KUL - and has written several film and short film scripts as an acting teacher and screenwriter. Numerous radio spots have also rolled out of his brain. The most startling assignment, however, came when Modiphius Entertainment - the largest independent producer and distributor of role plays in the world - recruited him to provide the film script and audio play for Achtung! Cthulhu to write. They were so well received that he is currently playing the complete audio series of Achtung! Cthulhu is finishing. In addition, he is busy with Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game, which has been delayed due to the fact that the second film was released much later than expected, problems with the film productions, the death of one of the two main writers and the corona crisis. , but will be released next year at the largest role-playing convention in the world, Gen Con in Indianapolis.

Articles, books, columns, film scripts, press releases, radio spots, reviews, TV scripts and simply copywriting with SEO: most of us have tried to squeeze one or more of these types of writing out of the (virtual) pen. However, it is not always easy to deliver good texts. One person has great ideas, but cannot convert them into ink (digital or otherwise); the other is creative, but makes too many spelling mistakes; and a third kind of person is a language Nazi, but fails to come up with fluent, natural-feeling dialogue. The writing course from offers solace. This way you can not only learn to act, but also get a taste of our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, physical acting, lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, it remains true: the more you follow one particular course, the faster you progress. Our writing course Our course covers all possible texts and can be followed both privately and in a small group. Moreover, we mainly teach you what you are interested in. During our first meeting we will discuss your goals in detail, after which we will focus the entire course on what you exactly want and need. All ages and levels are welcome with us, so we welcome you with open arms even if you have no experience at all or especially need tutoring!

About you During our writing course, it goes without saying that it is not about us, but about you and your writing! Few things we enjoy as much as watching someone progress and live their passions. That is why we often go a step further after class and continue to support you, whatever texts you want to write!
No, we don't think that being able to sing is absolutely necessary for actors. Not every actor or actress has the ambition to appear in a musical and not every series or film features singing. Still, vocal coaching is a good idea... whether you want to learn to sing or not! With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress. More info Anyone who has ambitions as a singer or who wants to expand his or her skills to make it easier to land a role will soon end up taking singing lessons... but also those who have no intention of ever performing songs. can benefit greatly from vocal coaching. You often have to be on set for a long time and then it is important to use your voice properly, so that it does not get tired and you can speak as powerfully after hours of recording as before. Finally, it is very useful to be able to put different effects on your voice. Just think of the raspy character of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the barking explanations of Samson, the full voice of Kabouter Plop or the grunted insults exchanged in The Chronicles of Sabrina. Judiciously used voice effects can not only add color to characters, they are sometimes essential or almost automatically arise from emotional moments. So being able to use them correctly and maintain control over them without damaging your vocal cords is essential. What you learn As is the case with almost all of our courses, we teach you techniques from different approaches. For our singing lessons, these are Speech Level Singing (SLS), Estill Voice Training (EVT) and Complete Vocal Technique (CVT). Here are some things that will pass in review: • The similarities and differences between the three major singing techniques • Using support • The larynx, lips, and other organs that help control voice production • Add necessary twang • Add air or not • Different vocal modes (with CVT): neutral, curbing, overdrive and edge. • Variety of voice effects including: creaking, distortion, grunting, rattling, screaming, vibrato and ornamentation • For actors: relationship between voice color, effects and the playing of all kinds of characters • For actors: the relationship between stem kle Extras • Help with the CV • Assistance with admissions • Help in choosing the right equipment • Help with finding auditions • Syllabus with pdf of the book Complete Vocal Technique You can participate whenever you want!
We have all said that we have been lied to sometimes... and we sometimes tell a white lie ourselves. Please note that there are no warnings and even those that you see in your computer information. Eleven courses are now available in the Emotion Detector! So I can't learn to play, but I also proved my debate and presentation technology course (a television course), communication, singing, improvisation, "physical acting", detection, hypnosis, management, or even more! The natural view on the gel: I go further, I will study the course, I go further. Register for one of several lessons, after which you can also take the entire course. "I'm not upset because you lied to me, I'm upset because I can't believe you from now on." Friedrich Nietzsche Learning to see through lies & emotions We've all been there: someone has lied to us in the past or hid the truth for so long that he or she has hurt or otherwise harmed us. So we know that the light is gone and we are talking about the corner, we know that we are going to see our colleagues who are on the eleventh of their reputation. Thanks to our lie in emotion detection course, you will learn to see much better when someone is lying to you... and what he or she might really be thinking. However, this course is much more than that: you learn to see and interpret emotions, often through small signals. Now we don't have all the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), the system that we used in the series 'Lie to Me', but we can also learn about it and it's possible to listen to it and listen to it in the intonation use. It is important that we test the lessons of someone like Professor Ekman - the man who invented FACS and the fiction series was renamed Lightman - and other techniques against the scientific evidence about what works and what does not. Neither detail nor system immerses even the universal in the same way it works. This means that we have new lessons in which we can learn more about our courses. From the study of the world to the emotions we have in mind, we have to take into account the growing theory of all the courses we have learned, but the words we have learned are very practical in nature and are the ones that have been studied in the past. Do I want to learn to recognize emotions very quickly and see what is going on behind someone's facade? Then be sure to register for your two courses!
Learn to debate, present, lead interviews, conduct (panel) discussions, read from an autocue and much more! With your course fee you can participate in any of our courses whenever you want. This way you can not only learn to act, but also taste our courses in debate and presentation techniques (our TV course), communication, singing, improvisation, 'physical acting', lie detection, hypnosis, directing, or writing! Of course, the following applies: the more you follow 1 particular course, the faster you progress. With this you register yourself for one or more lessons, after which you can also follow the entire course. More info For more than 10 years, Badass Intensive Acting Studios has provided a unique acting course for film and TV. The team behind the acting training therefore tries to give its students every opportunity to achieve their goals, whether it is to build more self-confidence, find a fun and social hobby, or actually act in front of the camera. This often requires stuck out in order to enter the unpredictable world of cinema, often with varying results. In our renewed TV course you will not only learn all the tricks of the trade, if you actually want to stand in front of the camera to record videos, you will receive a free membership for a year at the Association of European Journalists (AEJ). You will also receive an official pass and access to both the press center in Brussels and the Dutch House, in the same European district. What you learn Here are some skills you will learn during the TV course: • Debate techniques • Presentation techniques • Conduct conversations • Provide Q & As for an audience • Read from an autocue • Basic skills with camera and light Extras • Help with the CV • Quizzes • Completely new syllabus • Press pass of the AEJ (validity: 1 year) • Anyone who deals with specific subjects and appears to be able to do so well can obtain a separate press pass (for example from Kinepolis) or receive review material (for example: games, DVDs or music) • Certainty of participating in our new online channel • Percent of any profit from videos you participate in goes to you Note that the extras are contingent on actually making video films that can be distributed through the new online channel, which we are launching at the same time as our web series, Four and a Living Room. We are not going to burn students who still need to polish up by throwing videos with them on the internet too early. A lesson lasts 2 hours and you always sign up for a 20-lesson ticket. You can participate whenever you want!

✅COACHING / MANAGEMENT CONSULTING / COMMUNICATION WITHIN MARITAL / COUPLE & FAMILY RELATIONS
In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream. Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be. Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship. By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy). Among the possible accompaniments, some examples: - The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life - How to resolve disagreements - The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education - Learn to express emotions - Manage families and in-laws - How to take your place within the couple - Define the respective roles of each Among the techniques used: - Non-violent communication tools - The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions.

✅COACHING IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT & PRAGMATIC METHODS BY A PSYCHOANALYST / PSYCHOPRACTITIONER
➤Choose the appropriate mediator to carry out quality work and help each other move forward/overcome certain mechanisms. An awareness necessary for change will then make it possible to be part of a new dynamic of life, to calm down and to use all its potential in the emotional/family/professional domains. ➤ Self-exploration in order to free oneself from emotion through speech and action / application, involves questioning oneself, analyzing, taking distance, and understanding the issues / points causing suffering or distress, before finally freeing oneself from them. This is intended to promote significant changes in cognitive, emotional or behavioral functioning. ➤This methodological approach, halfway between first practical behavioral coaching in an 'Anglo-Saxon' style and then psychoanalysis accompanied by a dedicated specialized psychoanalyst psycho-practitioner, is based precisely on precise questioning techniques, offering help in finding solutions, mastering new ways of envisaging/dealing with/perceiving difficulties, then implementing actions to be carried out. Combining the advantages of the two approaches and choosing the appropriate mediator to carry out quality work and help each other move forward/overcome certain mechanisms, will therefore induce the awareness necessary for this decided change, towards a new dynamic. ➤Objective? Understand the mechanisms of induced thought & emotion, linked to given everyday situations and which involve blockages. Then act concretely thanks to pragmatic techniques / methodological approaches from coaching, adapted to your situation to regain power over your life. ➤To lead this change & realize these aspirations, a cohort of concrete tools are at our disposal, but which involve deepening self-exploration. To question yourself, analyze, take some distance & understand the issues / problematic points, before finally freeing yourself from them through action. ➤Examples of themes/problems regularly dealt with & which are the subject of dedicated specialized support, adapted to your plan: •Self-confidence, self-esteem/assertion, shyness, decision-making, personal development •Management of emotions & suffering expressed in the form of anxieties, depressive disorders, embarrassments, addictions, relationship difficulties, phobia, stress, anger, anxiety, negative thoughts, panic, depression but also modification of behaviors harmful to good -being (post-traumatic stress, injuries, dependencies, addictions, etc.) • Disorders of school/professional relations (tensions, (re)orientation, pressures & conflicts) Program and personal (family, romantic, friendly, emotional) & social (loneliness, communication difficulties generating pain/frustration) • Problem of concentration, procrastination, organization, professional efficiency, time management •Management of a past trauma of which you are the victim (...) ➤At the start, it is always a question of knowing the triggers that led you to get support and knowing what you hope to accomplish with this follow-up. ➤With specific techniques that have proven themselves & adapted to your case and through a methodological approach and pragmatic tools, the purpose involves on the one hand an exploration of oneself through psychoanalytic tools and on the other hand concrete actions, as is the essence of coaching which bears fruit from the first sessions, by making you autonomous. ➤Influenced by cognitive & behavioral therapies, by Anglo-Saxon coaching instruments & the European methodology of applied psychoanalysis, the approach therefore aims to seek links between current difficulties and past experiences, including repressed and unresolved conflicts and to confront difficulties that may be partially related to inappropriate thoughts or behaviors learned/adopted often in spite of oneself. ➤And if cookie-cutter advice is precisely not offered, that you will never be judged or directed but heard and guided, in a process of permanent/interactive co-construction...it is precisely because it is important beforehand to analyze together, to become aware, to study jointly, to deepen, to decode your blockages & your initial problem to clarify your aspirations. ➤ So, how does a session take place? After an initial inventory, 'diagnostic'/exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, your problem, your blockages, your needs and objectives identified, it is a question of analyzing them together then changing perspective/approach, considering 'the impasse' differently, think differently about the difficulties, gradually get out of your comfort zone thanks to a series of pragmatic suggestions/reflections/actions to be applied, according to a line of work defined together, anchored in a relationship of benevolent trust. ➤ So, to develop coherent solutions in a living, authentic and assertive life, inspired by our intuition and elements of positive psychology, this individual support helps to: - create a clear picture of your desired future and your individual journey - activate your unique resources and strengths - transform inner insecurity into confidence in order to focus your inner power - broaden your scope - use your gifts to co-create the transition to a vital and vital way of life in harmony with nature. Concretely, a SESSION = REFLECTION + SOLUTIONS, with a readjusted strategy if necessary. ➤ THE COACH PSYCHOANALYST PSYCHOPRACTITIONER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our psycho-practitioner psychoanalyst has specialized and worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field , in renowned public and private international establishments, regularly participating in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon.
